The gas flow estimation is crucial for the proper operation and monitoring of turbocharged (TC) engines with a torque structured engine control unit (ECU). This paper presents mean value models developed for modeling gas flow over the compressor, the turbine and the wastegate (WG) in a TC gasoline engine not equipped with a hot film air-mass flow meter (HFM). The turbine flow ...

Gas turbines are currently a popular power generation technology in countries with access to natural gas resources. However they are very complex systems the operation of which at peak performance is challenging. This paper proposes the use of a hybrid approach based on an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for the control of the speed and the exhaust temperature of a gas turbine. Th...

The objective” of this proje& which is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), is to provide a comprehensive comparison of heavy-duty urban transit buses operating on alternative fuels and diesel firel. Final reports from this project were produced in 1996 from data collection and evaluation of 111 transit buses from eight transi...

This paper presents the results of experimental work carried out to evaluate the distribution of cold and hot exhaust gas recirculation between cylinders in a DI diesel engine. The experiments have been conducted on a 3.99 liters turbocharged DI diesel engine under full load condition at 1900rpm in order to distinguish and quantify some effects of hot and cooled EGR with various rates on the EG...

The paper presents the results of modelling thermal cycle of internal combustion engine including exhaust gas recirculation. The test engine can not achieve the optimum parameters of work due to occurrence of the knock combustion. The influence of EGR on the limits of the knock occurrence in the engine was studied. It turned out that few percent of exhaust gases in the fresh charge effectively ...

abstract: implementing a combined cooling, heating and power system(cchp) to cool, heat and produce electricity is growing rapidly due to its efficiency and low emissions. in this paper, using economic analysis, the size and operation detail of the required gas engine and the specific electricity, cooling and heating load curves for a one year operating period has been determined. the proposed ...

nowadays, utilization of blended fuel in internal combustion engine is one of main topics in vehicle industries. the synergy effect will be highlighted when the potential of each fuel is employed and the engine performance will improve consequently.  in this research, the laminar flame speed of methane (main component of reference fuel for natural gas) and isooctane (main component of reference...

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) can be used to recover the waste heat from a stationary compressed natural gas (CNG) engine. However, the exhaust energy rate varies with engine load, which can influence the operating performance of the ORC system, therefore, it is necessary to study the running state of the ORC system. In this paper, first, the numerical simulation model of the ORC system is bu...

This paper develops and validates a power flow behavioral model of a gas turbine engine with a gas generator and free power turbine. “Simple” mathematical expressions to describe the engine’s power flow are derived from an understanding of basic thermodynamic and mechanical interactions taking place within the engine. The engine behavioral model presented is suitable for developing a supervisor...
